His smile grew a bit wider as she turned towards him and he chuckled at her words before wrapping his arms around her as she cuddled into him. "It's that amazing bloke that you keep talking about again, isn't it? He sure is lucky to get so much of your attention.." He kissed her head, then leaned against her as he sat back on the seat.
He shrugged lightly in response to her question. It was nice, he supposed.. he wasn't sure what other word to use there. He considered the Slytherin prefect to be a friend, so it was pretty good company on his last journey to the train. "Yeah, I guess.. I shared a boat with Daichi and we talked a bit. Did you get to sit with Ariana in the carriage?" He knew that had been the plan anyway and he hoped the other girl's presence had made the journey easier. Glancing down at the animals at their mention, he watched them play for a moment and chuckled before looking back at Min. "I think she'll be alright," he said, lightly rubbing her back as he held her. "She has Liesel to keep her company.. Speaking of owls, I'm still counting on you to help me pick one out over summer." He had been meaning to get one for a while and he had to for sure before going to Uni.. and since she was the expert, he could use some advice.
And there was a smile. Ethan smiled back a bit brighter as he looked down at her. "I can stay a little while, I don't have to go just yet.. and then I shouldn't be gone long. I'll come back." Sure, he still had some duties to complete on the train ride back, but he was going to spend as much time here as possible.
Minerva sighed as his arms went around her. This had come to be such a comfort zone the last two years to her. What was she going to do without that comfort next term. Trying to at least chuckle at his words she shook her head,
"Honestly I think he's been cursed to have to put up with me and all my problems." She knew he was... who in their right mind would deal with a girlfriend who had put him through as much as Minerva. A guy kissing her, trying to be friends with him again, the ice cream issues, the detention, and now all the crying..She knew just how amazing he was for putting up with all of that. He would never realize how much she truly appreciated everything he did for her.
She gave a small smile,
"I really like Daichi.. Even with the ice cream issues.. He was fun to hangout with this term. I'm going to miss him." That felt like it was becoming the story of her life lately.
"That was your first time on the boats wasn't it?" She thought about the boat ride.
"I bet it's weird for the ones that were first years here. It was pretty much the scariest ride of my life at that point. I had never been away from my mom and not knowing the wizarding world. I was terrified." She couldn't help but smile thinking about it now. She realized Ethan's trip was probably very different since he wasn't a first year nor had he been on them before. She nodded at his next question,
"Yeah I sat with Ari and Beezus actually. I guess us girls have to stick together now that our guys are leaving." She gave a faint smile hating the thought of them leaving.
"Forrest sat with us too.. I feel so horrible, I am suppose to be looking out for the first years and I was the one that gave Forrest ice cream." Her frown deepened at this. Some role model she was..
She watched the pets play and glanced at Liesel in her cage.
"She will, but she will miss Elise. It's alright for these two to stay with you while I'm at St. Mungos, right? " She knew Fluffy stayed last summer with him while she was at her grandparents, but now this was two extra pets. Looking back at Ethan she nodded
"Of course I'll help you. What type do you want, do you have a preference? " She thought for a moment.
"I could see you with a pretty snowy one or maybe an adorable brown barn owl, you know the ones with the white in their faces." These were just thoughts, but she was leaning towards the snowy, but it was his choice in the end.
"We will have to make sure Liesel likes him as well. They will end up spending lots of time together." Well hopefully in the future they would be.
He didn't have to go yet, that was exactly what she wanted to hear. She really didn't want anyone else's company. It was their last train ride from school together. She would make time for her other friends later. These last moments were done after this trip and she wasn't wasting any seconds away from him.
"I'm glad you can stay. I just don't want to be with anyone else right now." She hoped that didn't seem mean.
